SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified person-
nel should install, repair, or service heating equipment. Untrained
personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as clean-
ing and replacing air filters. All other operations must be per-
formed by trained service personnel. When working on heating
equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and on labels
attached to or shipped with unit and other safety precautions that
may apply.
Follow all safety codes. In the United States, follow all safety
codes including the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA No.
54-1992/ANSI Z223.1-1992. In Canada, refer to the current
edition of the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGA-B149.1-
and .2-M91 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes (NSC-
NGPIC). Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have fire extin-
guisher available during start-up and adjustment procedures and
service calls.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
.
When you see this symbol on unit or in instructions and manuals,
be alert to potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAU-
TION. These words are used with safety-alert symbol. DANGER
identifies most serious hazards which will result in severe personal
injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in
personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe
practices which would result in minor personal injury or product
and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions
which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control.
Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from
personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing
the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the
furnace, the control, and the person at the same electro-
static potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH
THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE
CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in
a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.
3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch un-
grounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touch-
ing control or wires.

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
This appliance is equipped only for altitudes 0 - 2,000 ft (0-610 m) for use with natural
gas and propane. A conversion kit, supplied by the manufacturer, shall be used to convert to
the alternate fuel or elevation.
This direct-vent, forced-air furnace is for indoor installation in a building constructed
on site or in a manufactured (mobile) home when using factory authorized kit, see
rating plate. For installation in alcove or closet at minimum clearances from combustible
material as shown below.
This appliance requires a special venting system. Refer to the installation instructions for
parts list and method of installation. This furnace is for use with schedule-40 PVC, PVC-DWV,
or ABS-DWV pipe, and must not be vented in common with other gas-fired appliances.
Construction through which vent/air intake pipes may be installed is maximum 24 inches
(600 mm), minimum 3/4 inches (19 mm) thickness (including roofing materials).
